FPGA Engineer Hengelo (OV) • Thales

FPGA ENGINEER

The Radar Front-End department designs and develops state-of-the-art antennas for our radars. This includes transmitters, receivers, signal generators, digital signal processing & control and other digital and analog building blocks. Beside that we explore new technologies and innovations for these domains, as well as for the architecture of Radar Front-Ends as a whole. We are based in Hengelo and consist of around 90 people, of which 7 to 10 are part of the FPGA discipline.

About the job
As FPGA-engineer you are responsible for the design, development and verification of complex and high-speed digital functions in state-of –the-art FPGA technology as applied in our radars. Your work covers the complete development cycle: definition of FPGA-requirements, design of the FPGA-architecture, implement detailed design, verify the design in RTL by simulations on host and validation on the target HW-platform. All steps in the development cycle will be documented by you. You will work according the defined project plan and keep stake holders informed.

You will work in close cooperation with other FPGA-engineers and team-members of other disciplines like system architects, HW engineers, SW engineers, etc., to come to an overall optimal technical solution. 
Due to the nature of our products and solutions a NL-nationality is preferred.
